Also some of those manufacturers are hatching plans to re-open in America.


A few will symbolically come back, but the dream that we can produce every car on our roads is long gone.

The day Ford, GM, and Mopar come back is the day they've figured out how to automate every single step of the assembly process. American wages (especially with socialist unions) are way too high to make the entire supply chain work in the US.

Sounds like you’re convinced. But to the rest of the world, it kinda looks like this.:

US: we’re going to have a trade war!

Canada: fine, we’re not afraid of a trade war

US: hold on, let’s wait a month. Trudeau is trying to benefit from a trade war!

He’s intentionally tanking the economy so he can blame the left.


That explains exactly why Apple, Honda, and Taiwanese chip makers among many others are investing trillions of dollars all of a sudden IN AMERICA.

Makes perfect sense, they are investing in a failing economy.

That penetrating the holes of children leads to starting troll threads on the internet.

Is that accurate?


As much as I think you and your comrades are disgusting filth I have never felt the desire to go to r/politics or r/boipussy and troll. Something ain't right with you homie.

Hint: it's always been just a bluff. There's no real desire to implement them. Just like last time.

The funny thing is if Trump is hitting pause, it would be the second time to do so. Embarrassing.

Not to mention some are directly linked to the chip act, you know that thing that Trump says he wants to get rid of.

Kentucky bourbon distillers and the jobs those support are going to lose a lot of money and jobs with the tariffs put on their products being sent to other countries. Canada is a huge buyer of US liquor and so is the EU.

Massive corps can react much faster to tariffs, its the small to medium-sized industries who will take the hit.

Trump never feels embarrassed about anything. That piece doesn’t exist.
